Q8. Write a precis of about one-third of the passage given below.Also provide a suitable title to the same : 20Stress is a fact of life and individuals react to stress in differentways. The very fact that some individuals deal with stressorsin a positive way indicates that a proper understanding of thephenomenon and its effects is very important. Takingappropriate action to optimize, reduce or prevent stress maybe beneficial both for the organization as well as the individual.Effective stress management can be done at the organizationaland individual level in many different ways.

33

Stress management can be divided into two phases, the first iscoping with stress and the second is counteracting the stressresponse with the help of relaxation response. For coping withstress there are five major methods: avoidance, evasion,diversion, preparation and eustress response. In avoidancemethod the particular stressors are never met. In evasion, thestressors are evaded or side-stepped so as to postpone stressreactions. In diversion, one's mind is distracted from potentialstressors. Diversions can take many forms such as developinga rewarding hobby like drawing, painting, music, photography,gardening, reading, writing etc., regularly going to movies,dramas, hotels; shopping; sports both indoor and outdoor games;going on trips and vacations, or visiting places of religiousimportance. In Preparation method, the individual prepareshimself mentally, nutritionally and physically. In the last methodof Eustress Response, the individual tries to change responsefrom distress to eustress with the help of positive and optimisticmental attitude and regular and regulated physical exercise.The second phase of effective stress management iscounteracting stress response. For this the individual tries toelicit relaxation response simply by having a restful sleep or takinga nap an individual feels relaxed and is able to counter act stress-response. There are various techniques to elicit relaxationresponse. Hess first described relaxation response in a cat. Heelectrically stimulated a specific area of the hypothalamus andelicited what he called ... "a protective mechanism againstoverstress which promotes restorative processes." Walter R.Hess Functional Organization of the Diencephalons (New YorkGrune and Stratton, 1975) p. 40 Like the fight or flight response,the relaxation response is also present in man. Until recently,the relaxation response has been elicited primarily bymeditational techniques including self-hypnosis, meditation,biofeedback, yoga and Breathing exercises. All these techniquesbring out the physiological change in our bodies when we alterthe state of consciousness through non-drug means. Proper useof massage, heat and cold are refreshing and relaxing forcounteracting the stress response on physical side, when usedwith physical exercise.Beyond all these measures, the individual has to develop a stressmanagement philosophy to serve him as a guide. Thecornerstone to this philosophy is the eustress mental approach.Earning one's neighbour's love and respect is a major aspect ofthe eustress mental approach. Another key component is a

44

positive attitude with optimistic outlook. Developing a sense ofhumor is an excellent means of effective stress management.Some tried and tested skills for effective stress managementessentially emphasize on proper management of time. Inabilityto do this results in lack of priorities, failure to delegate,inefficiency and incompetence in task performance. Learning tobe assertive is equally important. Assertive behavior has fourcharacteristics: ability to say 'No'; ability to make requests andask favors; ability to express positive and negative feelings; andability to generate, continue and terminate discussion. Anothermost crucial factor is to learn to understand our emotions.Understanding the anatomy of our anger and learning to controlit is extremely essential. For managing our anger effectively theclassic advice of counting numbers to ten has survived forcenturies. When angry all our energy is spent in being tenseand anxious. Therefore it is vital to relax and compose ourselves.The body's adaptive energy is like an inherited fortune. If we goon spending it without making any deposit, we will squander itaway. If we want it to last longer, we must learn to use it wisely.Recognizing inevitable and learning to accept them is yet anotherway to effective stress management. The individual should learnto come to terms with unpleasant realities since they are thereto say. Accepting them once and for all lessens their stressfulimpact. Life is not always fair and we have to learn to look forsilver linings in every black cloud.Learning a variety of new skills and applying them regularly inday-to-day life helps a lot in managing stress effectively. It isimportant to remember two points: "Treat Stress as Your Friendnot Foe"; and "Anticipate Stress and Be Prepared". EffectiveStress Management makes use of this advice. Effective stressmanagement heavily relies on positive optimistic approach tolook at stress. This approach believes that stress contains ahidden opportunity which opens us a doorway into our innerworlds. We can begin to see more clearly how our well-beingcomes to be at the mercy of the way we think and the way wesee things. As we discover more about these inner dynamics,we can learn how to exercise choice in our responses, thusbecoming masters of our mindsets. This enables us to maintaina healthier state of body and mind. Managing our stresseffectively can also lead to a fuller appreciation of inner natures,and our hidden strengths so that we can free our own resourcesand respond to change more flexibly.
